Gordon Ramsay appeared on Selena Gomez's cooking show in 2022

Gordon Ramsay's congratulatory message for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco comes two years after the chef appeared as a guest on the Ice Cream singer's cooking show - Selena+Chef - which broadcasted on HBO Max.

Selena+Chef marked its debut on TV in August 2020, and ran for four seasons, with each season consisting of 10 episodes. Filmed within the actress's kitchen, it features Gomez trying new cuisine in every episode as she's guided by a professional chef appearing as a star guest.

Gordon Ramsay appeared in the final episode of the fourth season of Gomez's show. The hot temper of Hell's Kitchen host is evident as he first instructs Selena to put the ribeye steak in a pan, and then chides her for picking the wrong pan.

Another time the two celebrities shared the screen in January 2024, when Gomez joined Ramsay to make a breakfast burger at his YouTube show, Scrambled. The video has since received 4.5 million views.

In February 2024, Selena Gomez joined Zane Lowe in an Apple interview to celebrate her latest single, Love On. In the interview, the 999 singer said about her relationship:

"Without getting into too much detail, I think it's just really important to meet someone that respects you. And I think it's really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I'd have to say overall it's the safest that I feel and it's been really lovely and I've only grown through it, so it's awesome."

The couple are yet to set a date to tie the knot.
